Council tables Kiwanis Club Fourth of July funding request pending cost breakdown
Summary
The Kiwanis Club asked for extra funding for Fourth of July activities; council members noted prior funding levels and asked for detailed costs before increasing the city contribution, then voted to table the request.
The Blaine City Council on April 27 tabled a request from the Kiwanis Club of Galena for additional Fourth of July funding after members asked the club to provide an itemized cost breakdown.
Council discussion noted the club lost about $1,000 last year and that the city budgeted $6,500 for the event this year; the club had requested up to $10,000. One council member offered to increase the motion to the budgeted $6,500 rather than $10,000; others suggested asking the Kiwanis for receipts or cost estimates before granting more. The council agreed to pull the motion and table item 26CDash0180 to a future meeting when the requested information is provided.
The motion to table passed, and staff will place the item on a future agenda with the cost information the council requested.
